Frisco ISD students will be out of school a week earlier than usual in the 2026-27 school year due to the upcoming PGA Championship.
The championship, which will be held the week of May 17, 2027, creates operational and safety concerns that district officials began discussing a year ago, FISD Deputy Superintendent Todd Fouche said during a Nov. 17 board meeting.
Put in perspective: Officials estimate the PGA Championship will bring in 30,000 people daily to Frisco. Fouche explained that a temporary city will essentially be built in the northwest side of the school district near about nine FISD schools and that the tournament will not just affect those schools, but the entire FISD community.
District leaders met with the Frisco Police and Fire Departments, emergency medical services and city officials, Fouche said, and determined from a safety and security standpoint that the best way to move forward was to end the school year a week earlier than typical.
